Hi,
I'm using Lucid Puppy 5.1.0 (full installation). The Pwidgets look great. So, I installed them and added a few widgets to my desktop. After a day or two, I saw huge decrease in the free space. The free space dropped by about 1.5GB. When I used gdmap to find out what took so much space, I saw that the /tmp/xerrs.log is 1.5GB in size. Most of it's entries were:

I know pwidgets uses conky to render the desktop widgets. But they seem to be causing huge log files. I deleted the log file and everything was fine for a day. After that, I had a bigger 2.5GB log file the next day!

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is there anyway to turn off logging for pwidgets/conky? Also, how can I stop pwidgets/conky from autoloading everytime I boot?_________________Regards,

Hello,
Delete /root/Startup/0showwidgets...
Or something like that, (as I dont have pwidgets installed ATM), but look in /root/Startup for a file with a similar name and remove it..._________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

Thanks puppyluvr.. The file was /root/Startup/0_show_widgets
I deleted this file and pwidgets won't autoload anymore..

But it would be nice if I can load pwdigets AND somehow not have such a big log.. Is there a way to disable conky from writing to xerrs.log? Or it would be even better if there was a way to restrict the size of xerrs.log file itself_________________Regards,

That will delete it on startup ...
At least till we get to the root of the problem.._________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world
